Managed Security Services

Our remote monitoring and management tool is essential for visibility of the devices within your network. Our RMM platform is set to run continuous discovery jobs to ensure that an up to date IT asset inventory exists for all devices that can communicate over the network and thus act as a potential source of vulnerability which forms a critical part of your security posture. Our RMM tool is also responsible for the efficient patching of applications and operating systems in the network.

Our API-based cloud email and collaboration security tool uses AI to protect cloud email and collaboration suites from cyber attacks that evade default and advanced security tools. Unlike spam filters, which only protect incoming email, our cloud email and collaboration security tool protects everything, securing email in all directions (internal, external, outgoing). This offers complete protection against all threats, including insider ones.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an essential security measure that helps protect your accounts and data from unauthorized access. MFA provides an additional layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity using two or more factors before granting access to their accounts.

Having MFA in place is crucial in today's digital landscape, where cyber attacks and data breaches are becoming more frequent and sophisticated. With MFA, even if an attacker has your password, they won't be able to access your account without the additional authentication factor.

Where available, CT Group will also configure geo-blocking restrictions in tandem with Multi-Factor Authentication to further harden the authentication process.

Device encryption is a powerful security measure that helps protect your sensitive data in case your device falls into the wrong hands. With device encryption, all the information on your device is scrambled and can only be accessed by someone who has the right password or decryption key. Our device encryption technology ensures that your important data is safe and secure, giving you peace of mind when you’re on the go. It’s an essential security feature for anyone who works with confidential information, from business professionals to students and anyone who wants to keep their personal data secure.

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an essential security tool used to protect email communication. It works by adding a digital signature to each email message, which verifies that the message was sent from a legitimate source and has not been altered during transmission. This is important because without DKIM, malicious individuals can easily impersonate a sender's email address and send fraudulent messages to unsuspecting recipients. DKIM helps to prevent these types of attacks and ensures that email communication remains secure and reliable.

Deploying the ACSC Essential Eight is critical for businesses and organisations that take cybersecurity seriously. The Essential Eight is a set of strategies developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) that provides a practical framework for mitigating cyber threats and reducing the likelihood of successful cyber attacks.

By deploying the Essential Eight, you can significantly improve your organisation's cybersecurity posture and protect against a range of common cyber threats, including ransomware, phishing, and malware attacks. The Essential Eight comprises eight mitigation strategies that are considered essential for any organisation that wants to strengthen its cybersecurity defences:

1. Application whitelisting
2. Patching applications
3. Configuring Microsoft Office macro settings
4. User application hardening
5. Restricting administrative privileges
6. Patching operating systems
7. Multi-factor authentication
8. Daily backups

By implementing these strategies, you can prevent cybercriminals from exploiting known vulnerabilities in your organisation's systems, reduce the risk of unauthorised access, and ensure that your critical data is protected from loss or theft. Deploying the Essential Eight is an essential step towards creating a robust and resilient cybersecurity posture that can help your organisation withstand even the most sophisticated cyber attacks. With our expert guidance, you can implement these strategies quickly and effectively, ensuring that your organisation stays protected from cyber threats at all times.

Vulnerability management is a critical component of any organisation's cybersecurity strategy, as it helps identify, assess, and mitigate security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cybercriminals. By regularly scanning and patching vulnerabilities in your systems and applications, you can significantly reduce the risk of cyber attacks and protect your organisation's sensitive data. Vulnerability management also helps you comply with regulatory requirements and industry standards, demonstrating your commitment to cybersecurity best practices and ensuring that your organisation stays one step ahead of emerging threats.

Security awareness training is essential to ensure that employees understand the importance of cybersecurity and their role in protecting their organisation's sensitive information and assets. By educating employees about the latest cyber threats, phishing attacks, and social engineering tactics, organisations can significantly reduce the risk of human error-based security breaches. Security awareness training also helps employees recognize potential threats and respond appropriately, ensuring that cyber incidents are detected and reported promptly. Ultimately, security awareness training is an investment in your organisation's overall cybersecurity posture, as it helps build a culture of security awareness and empowers employees to be active participants in protecting their organisation's data and assets

Phishing simulation is an essential security practice that helps individuals and organisations identify and prevent phishing attacks. Phishing is a type of cyber attack where a fraudster impersonates a trustworthy entity to trick the victim into divulging sensitive information or clicking on a malicious link. Phishing simulation involves sending simulated phishing emails to employees or individuals to test their awareness and response to such attacks. By doing so, organisations can train their employees to recognize and report suspicious emails, ultimately reducing the risk of a successful phishing attack.

Dark web monitoring of user passwords is an essential security measure that helps organisations detect and mitigate potential data breaches originating from the dark web. Cybercriminals often sell or trade stolen user credentials on the dark web, allowing attackers to gain unauthorised access to sensitive information and systems. By monitoring the dark web for mentions of user passwords, organisations can quickly identify potential data breaches and take action to mitigate the risks. Dark web monitoring of user passwords also helps organisations proactively educate employees on the importance of strong password hygiene and implement password policies that require regular changes and the use of complex, unique passwords. Ultimately, dark web monitoring of user passwords is an essential component of any comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, helping organisations protect their sensitive information and assets from the growing threat of cybercrime and data breaches.
